yeah, it is the 3.2L VR6, sourced from VW (sadly), and will produce 250hp.
Wow, 250hp and they had to get the motor from VW.
is nothing sacred.

Porsche is losing its focus.
It's a sports car builder, and one of the best at that. Why they decided to tarnish their image with an SUV I don't know (well, I guess I do, for money of course).
The Cayenne S is okay, the Cayenne Turbo is at least very fast for an SUV, but the V6? Come on! 247 hp in a vehicle that weighs about 5600 lbs, has a pitiful 9.1 sec 0-60, and it dares carry a Porsche badge???
The only good that can come of this is the undeniable profit that it will bring Porsche. Now let's hope they use that profit in a meaningful way, like getting back into competative racing at Le Mans. . . | |

Last I heard, Cayennes' weren't exactly flying out of the showrooms. If a top of the line model won't sell, a V6 model is not going to cut it at all.

It's got 247hp and is only 3 tenths of a second faster than a civic ex?
That's pretty sad and a damn shame to have Porsche badges on it.
They're jus disgracing themselves, i think.

Now a days you need all the high tech gadgets. That's all the the Porsche Cayenne is. Porsche is arguably the best supercar maker. Plus half of the people buying the Cayenne are probably pimping it out. I think they did it so the price would go down. If they put their own engine in it it would be a lot more expensive. | |

they put their own V8s in there, we are just argueing about offering it with a V6 at all, much less the plebian VR6 from volkswagen.

My opinion:
Good side:
Affordable price
Kicks ass offroad
Bad side:
VW engine (yuck)
Slow if U consider Porsche's history and all
I'm a Porsche fan as much as U guys are and I think that Cayenne is a nice "compromise" (If U consider a 450 hp beast yhat can tear apart any road a compromise)! This engine is, on the onther hand, not that kind of a compromise! I hope they don't release a diesel Porsche (BLASPHEMY)!!!
Conclusion: marketing sux! marketing destroyes everything that is good and expensive, making it cheap and purely STUPID! | |
